Illuminarium Special Effects and Fire Art

Illuminarium is
showcasing four of our beautiful gas powered flambeaux torches, on the terrace
area of @Bristol for the duration of the alternative wedding show. Real flame
illumination creates a magical atmosphere that electric light just cannot
emulate. The flambeaux can be placed outdoors as markers for entrances or
pathways, creating awarm welcome
for your guests. I have been
working with fire and pyrotechnics for the past 14 years during which time it
became apparent that many venues had problems with fireworks due to the noise
and mess.

Many couples
still want to be able to use fire as a celebratory element on their wedding
day. The use of gas flames is a cleaner and quieter alternative to fireworks
and has a multitude of interesting applications. I received a request to
customise a green goddess fire engine with impressive 4m flame throwers, which
my wife Kathryn and I used as our wedding car!

In 2010, I set
up a special effects company, Illuminarium Ltd which has £5m public liability
insurance cover to showcase our work and enable us to provide fire effects to
venues that normally don’t allow fireworks or fire. In that time I have been
working in collaboration with other artists and have gone on to create many
unique, spectacular fire sculptures and performances for weddings and events
around the country.

Illuminarium
has provided confetti effects, pyrotechnics, fire poi performances, and created
an unorthodox way for the bride and groom to ignite ceremonial bonfires and
burn barrels with the ‘Illuminator’.

We have ‘off
the shelf’ effects to hire from as little as a few hundred pounds, which
includes insurance and operator or we can create your own completely bespoke
effect.

We build unique
sculptures, can light your names in fire or build fire pits and burn barrels to
commemorate your special day.
